i bought a ci brand new and hated the manual tranny from the day i picked it up notchy hard to shift slow and crappy when cold tons of complaints dealer kept telling me it would break in and i lived with it like that for four years i got used to it but still hated it at least three times i asked about changing the fluid and they told me that it didnt need it wouldnt help and might void the warranty lifetime fluid finally some guy on a forum reads my complaints and tells me to swap the fluid i drove over to a local quickie lube that carried the fluid he recommended and ten minutes later it was the sweetest transmission id ever shifted stayed that way for six more years until i sold it
